Why Media Literacy is Important

See Clinton Watts' testimony in front of congress yesterday: https://thinkprogress.org/clinton-watts-senate-intelligence-committee-trump-russia-fake-news-trail-of-bodies-1900e6fde054 http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/congress/article141746659.html http://clicklancashire.com/2017/03/31/senate-hearing-to-focus-on-russian-disinformation-tactics.html http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/washington-post-fake-news-russia/2016/11/24/id/760599/ We have a resident sitting in the White House, who can not distinguish between truth or fake news or propaganda. And, he brags about not being prepared, listening to our own intelligence agencies, reading almost anything. America, we need to teach our children well-- this is now our hell.
